The typesafe version of the powerpc pagetable handling (with
USE_STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS defined) has bitrotted again. This patch
makes a bunch of small fixes to get it back to building status.
It's still not enabled by default as gcc still generates worse
code with it for some reason.

If there are multiple reserved memory blocks via lmb_reserve() that are
contiguous addresses and on different NUMA nodes we are losing track of which
address ranges to reserve in bootmem on which node. I discovered this
when I recently got to try 16GB huge pages on a system with more then 2 nodes.
When scanning the device tree in early boot we call lmb_reserve() with
the addresses of the 16G pages that we find so that the memory doesn't
get used for something else. For example the addresses for the pages
could be 4000000000, 4400000000, 4800000000, 4C00000000, etc - 8 pages,
one on each of eight nodes. In the lmb after all the pages have been
reserved it will look something like the following:
lmb_dump_all:
memory.cnt = 0x2
memory.size = 0x3e80000000
memory.region[0x0].base = 0x0
.size = 0x1e80000000
memory.region[0x1].base = 0x4000000000
.size = 0x2000000000
reserved.cnt = 0x5
reserved.size = 0x3e80000000
reserved.region[0x0].base = 0x0
.size = 0x7b5000
reserved.region[0x1].base = 0x2a00000
.size = 0x78c000
reserved.region[0x2].base = 0x328c000
.size = 0x43000
reserved.region[0x3].base = 0xf4e8000
.size = 0xb18000
reserved.region[0x4].base = 0x4000000000
.size = 0x2000000000
The reserved.region[0x4] contains the 16G pages. In
arch/powerpc/mm/num.c: do_init_bootmem() we loop through each of the
node numbers looking for the reserved regions that belong to the
particular node. It is not able to identify region 0x4 as being a part
of each of the 8 nodes. It is assuming that a reserved region is only
on a single node.
This patch takes out the reserved region loop from inside
the loop that goes over each node. It looks up the active region containing
the start of the reserved region. If it extends past that active region then
it adjusts the size and gets the next active region containing it.

Commit 8b150478 ("ppc: make phys_mem_access_prot() work with pfns
instead of addresses") fixed page_is_ram() in arch/ppc to avoid overflow
for addresses above 4G on 32-bit kernels. However arch/powerpc's
page_is_ram() is missing the same fix -- it computes a physical address
by doing pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, which overflows if pfn corresponds to a page
above 4G.
In particular this causes pages above 4G to be mapped with the wrong
caching attribute; for example many ppc440-based SoCs have PCI space
above 4G, and mmap()ing MMIO space may end up with a mapping that has
caching enabled.
Fix this by working with the pfn and avoiding the conversion to
physical address that causes the overflow. This patch compares the
pfn to max_pfn, which is a semantic change from the old code -- that
code compared the physical address to high_memory, which corresponds
to max_low_pfn. However, I think that was is another bug, since
highmem pages are still RAM.

This rearranges a bit of code, and adds support for
36-bit physical addressing for configs that use a
hashed page table. The 36b physical support is not
enabled by default on any config - it must be
explicitly enabled via the config system.
This patch *only* expands the page table code to accomodate
large physical addresses on 32-bit systems and enables the
PHYS_64BIT config option for 86xx. It does *not*
allow you to boot a board with more than about 3.5GB of
RAM - for that, SWIOTLB support is also required (and
coming soon).

There is a small bug in the handling of 16G hugepages recently added
to the kernel. This doesn't cause a crash or other user-visible
problems, but it does mean that more levels of pagetable are allocated
than makes sense for 16G pages. The hugepage pagetables for the 16G
pages are allocated much lower in the pagetable tree than they should
be, with the intervening levels allocated with full pmd and pud pages
which will only ever have one entry filled in.
This corrects this problem, at the same time cleaning up the handling
of which level 64k versus 16M hugepage pagetables are allocated at.
The new way of formatting the tests should be more robust against
changes in pagetable structure, or any newly added hugepage sizes.

This implements CONFIG_RELOCATABLE for 64-bit by making the kernel as
a position-independent executable (PIE) when it is set. This involves
processing the dynamic relocations in the image in the early stages of
booting, even if the kernel is being run at the address it is linked at,
since the linker does not necessarily fill in words in the image for
which there are dynamic relocations. (In fact the linker does fill in
such words for 64-bit executables, though not for 32-bit executables,
so in principle we could avoid calling relocate() entirely when we're
running a 64-bit kernel at the linked address.)
The dynamic relocations are processed by a new function relocate(addr),
where the addr parameter is the virtual address where the image will be
run. In fact we call it twice; once before calling prom_init, and again
when starting the main kernel. This means that reloc_offset() returns
0 in prom_init (since it has been relocated to the address it is running
at), which necessitated a few adjustments.
This also changes __va and __pa to use an equivalent definition that is
simpler. With the relocatable kernel, PAGE_OFFSET and MEMORY_START are
constants (for 64-bit) whereas PHYSICAL_START is a variable (and
KERNELBASE ideally should be too, but isn't yet).
With this, relocatable kernels still copy themselves down to physical
address 0 and run there.

Kdump kernel needs to use only those memory regions that it is allowed
to use (crashkernel, rtas, tce, etc.). Each of these regions have
their own sizes and are currently added under 'linux,usable-memory'
property under each memory@xxx node of the device tree.
The ibm,dynamic-memory property of ibm,dynamic-reconfiguration-memory
node (on POWER6) now stores in it the representation for most of the
logical memory blocks with the size of each memory block being a
constant (lmb_size). If one or more or part of the above mentioned
regions lie under one of the lmb from ibm,dynamic-memory property,
there is a need to identify those regions within the given lmb.
This makes the kernel recognize a new 'linux,drconf-usable-memory'
property added by kexec-tools. Each entry in this property is of the
form of a count followed by that many (base, size) pairs for the above
mentioned regions. The number of cells in the count value is given by
the #size-cells property of the root node.

Commit bc033b63bbfeb6c4b4eb0a1d083c650e4a0d2af8 ("powerpc/mm: Fix
attribute confusion with htab_bolt_mapping()") moved the check for
whether we should make pages of the linear mapping executable from
htab_bolt_mapping into its callers, including htab_initialize.
A side-effect of this is that the decision is now made once for
each contiguous section in the LMB array rather than for each page
individually. This can often mean that the whole of the linear
mapping ends up being executable.
This reverts to the previous behaviour, where individual pages are
checked for being part of the kernel text or not, by moving the check
back down into htab_bolt_mapping.

The function htab_bolt_mapping() is used to create permanent
mappings in the MMU hash table, for example, in order to create
the linear mapping of vmemmap. It's also used by early boot
ioremap (before mem_init_done).
However, the way ioremap uses it is incorrect as it passes it the
protection flags in the "linux PTE" form while htab_bolt_mapping()
expects them in the hash table format. This is made more confusing by
the fact that some of those flags are actually in the same position in
both cases.
This fixes it all by making htab_bolt_mapping() take normal linux
protection flags instead, and use a little helper to convert them to
htab flags. Callers can now use the usual PAGE_* definitions safely.

The 64K SPU local store mapping feature is incompatible with the
64K huge pages support due to the inability of some parts of
the memory management to differenciate between them while they
use a different page table format.

Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge
page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values. For each supported huge
page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a
pgtable_cache. The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to
functions so that they know which huge page size they should use.
The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so
that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them.
The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g.
hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

The huge page size is defined for 16G pages. If a hugepagesz of 16G is
specified at boot-time then it becomes the huge page size instead of the
default 16M.
The change in pgtable-64K.h is to the macro pte_iterate_hashed_subpages to
make the increment to va (the 1 being shifted) be a long so that it is not
shifted to 0. Otherwise it would create an infinite loop when the shift
value is for a 16G page (when base page size is 64K).

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

This adds ioremap_prot and pte_pgprot() so that one can extract protection
bits from a PTE and use them to ioremap_prot() (in order to support ptrace
of VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP as per Rik's patch).
This moves a couple of flag checks around in the ioremap implementations
of arch/powerpc. There's a side effect of allowing non-cacheable and
non-guarded mappings on ppc32 which before would always have _PAGE_GUARDED
set whenever _PAGE_NO_CACHE is.
(standard ioremap will still set _PAGE_GUARDED, but ioremap_prot will be
capable of setting such a non guarded mapping).

At present, if we have a kernel with a 64kB page size, and some
process maps something that has to be mapped with 4kB pages (such as a
cache-inhibited mapping on POWER5+, or the eHCA infiniband queue-pair
pages), we change the process to use 4kB pages everywhere. This hurts
the performance of HPC programs that access eHCA from userspace.
With this patch, the kernel will only demote the slice(s) containing
the eHCA or cache-inhibited mappings, leaving the remaining slices
able to use 64kB hardware pages.
This also changes the slice_get_unmapped_area code so that it is
willing to place a 64k-page mapping into (or across) a 4k-page slice
if there is no better alternative, i.e. if the program specified

While working on the 36-bit physical support, I noticed that there
was exactly one line of code that actually referenced the bitfields.
So I got rid of them and redefined ppc_bat as a struct of 2 u32's:
batu and batl. I also got rid of the previous union that held the
bitfield structs and a word representation of the batu/l values.
This seems like a nicer solution than adding in a bunch of
new bitfields to support extended bat addressing that would never
get used, and just leaving the struct as-is would have been
incomplete in the face of large physical addressing.

Currently, the physical address is an unsigned long, but it should
be phys_addr_t in set_bat, [v/p]_mapped_by_bat. Also, create a
macro that can convert a large physical address into the correct
format for programming the BAT registers.

This frees a PTE bit when using 64K pages on ppc64. This is done
by getting rid of the separate _PAGE_HASHPTE bit. Instead, we just test
if any of the 16 sub-page bits is set. For non-combo pages (ie. real
64K pages), we set SUB0 and the location encoding in that field.

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that
was removed. So kill it.

When we demote a slice from 64k to 4k, and we are about to insert an
HPTE for a 4k subpage and we notice that there is an existing 64k
HPTE, we first invalidate that HPTE before inserting the new 4k
subpage HPTE. Since the bits that encode which hash bucket the old
HPTE was in overlap with the bits that encode which of the 16 subpages
have HPTEs, we need to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits before
starting to insert HPTEs for the 4k subpages. If we don't do that, we
can erroneously think that a subpage already has an HPTE when it
doesn't.
That in itself wouldn't be such a problem except that when we go to
update the HPTE that we think is present on machines with a
hypervisor, the hypervisor can tell us that the HPTE we think is there
is actually there even though it isn't, which can lead to a process
getting stuck in a loop, continually faulting. The reason for the
confusion is that the AVPN (abbreviated virtual page number) we are
looking for in the HPTE for a 4k subpage can actually match the AVPN
in a stale HPTE for another 64k page. For example, the HPTE for
the 4k subpage at 0x84000f000 will be in the same hash bucket and have
the same AVPN as the HPTE for the 64k page at 0x8400f0000.
This fixes the code to clear out the subpage HPTE-present bits.

The ehea driver was recently changed[1] to use walk_memory_resource() to
detect the system's memory layout. However, walk_memory_resource() is
available only when memory hotplug is enabled. So CONFIG_EHEA was
made to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG [2], but it is inappropriate for a
network driver to have such a dependency.
Make the declaration of walk_memory_resource() and its powerpc
implementation (ehea is powerpc-specific) unconditionally available.
